Zucchini Berry Bread

I found this recipe for zucchini bread on Food by Carrie, and modified it to fit what I wanted to make. Carrie’s site is great, with lots of information on the ingredients, why she uses them, and what’s healthy about them. Here’s my variation:

Zucchini Berry Bread

Mix the following ingredients in a large bowl and set aside:

2 1/2 cups shredded, unpeeled zucchini

1/2 cup local honey

1 cup sugar

2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 tsp vanilla

4 eggs

In another bowl, combine the following:

1 1/2 cups white flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Combine wet and dry ingredients. Gently stir in:

1/2 cup blueberries

1/3 cup raspberries

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350 F for 1 hour or more until a toothpick comes out clean. The honey makes the bread brown a lot, so if it gets too dark for your taste, cover it with foil.
